Subject: Take care, TCB
The two examples we have from November '66 have some of the best stuff from the year; though as a show 11/29 is better overall. This is the first show we have since 7/31, and the only one of this four-night run (the next we have is 11/29). It used to circ as 2/12/67, and apparently as 3/17/67 (confusing BITD of B&P, since the band sound had changed by March '67). I'm not sure what evidence we have that this is two sets, but I'll adhere to tradition. Maybe there's a song missing before Smokestack.
First Set. Cold Rain & Snow is a good launch. We have this Hi-Heel Sneakers, plus a '69, plus a Mickey & the Hartbeats, but this is best. Not so for Pain in My Heart: the one we have from July is better (they probably played it a lot during this period). Beat it on Down the Line-11 and Cream Puff are routine '66, and Same Thing is part average, part undeveloped. Though we have always considered Just a Hand to Hold a rarity, now we have a bunch of these (they played it all the way into 1970). But this somber, set-stopping lament was never as good as here, because it's better at midtempo, with Pig's bubbly organ; not as the funereal bummer-dirge it became in '69. It's also likely they played Dancing in the Street a lot in '66, though we only have six, including this partial [tape runs out].
Second Set. This is the only '66 Smokestack we have. In fact, we have one each from '66, '67 & '68. This is the Dead in-element-'66. This is what they play well and what Pig can sing/blow/destroy. (Jer briefly plays Teddy Bear's Picnic first; not on all sources). The rest are average '66. Midnight Hour is vampy, but check how Pig was asking for TCB a year before Aretha!
1st Set: B-
2nd Set: C+
Overall = 3 stars
Highlights:
Hi-Heel Sneakers - the best example
Just a Hand to Hold - also best
Smokestack Lightning - sing, blow, destroy
SOURCES: The miller_94106 has the best image and clarity, plus it has Dancing and the complete Same Thing. However, the channels are switched, and it runs too slow, needing +2% pitch correction. Others have out-of-order tracks, missing sections, or are speedy. The best-pitched is joshd_41-speed-fixed_75970 (still a bit sharp, but close enough for online streaming).

For all who've never listened to this show before: Yes, it's truly as good as they say here; but be prepared for the all-too-abrupt end of your bliss in the middle of Dancin'. It cuts out in the midst of a wonderful, monumental jam and doesn't come back. Sigh.

Love the early recordings! Can't believe the quality of this one. Pigpen was really on in this one. Thanks to Charlie Miller for ALL his work in these recordings. I always look to pick his work if it's available. Thanks to IA for the archives!!

...was the name Billy K used early on as he was too young to get into the clubs he was playing at. xD Thought that common knowledge. :-P Another winner courtesy of Sir Charlie Miller. Thank you, Sir.

Really - this is just unbelievable.
" Hi Heel Sneakers" in the first set gives us an idea of how the blues (in short "ditties") sounded in the early days. Really awesome.
The third set is why they (being the GD) used to say that in the earlier days, they were a backing band for PigPen.
Kudos to Mr. Miller
Must Have.
God Bless and Enjoy

I first downloaded this Cream Puff War about five years ago. It's absolutely fabulous, despite a misstep at 3:35 by Weir (somebody?). And I have to concur with BataviaSparky below: after listening to it, Jack Straw or Brown-Eyed Women might not hit the spot.
And how about that all-Pigpen second set?!!

Absolutely incredible to hear this. An extra special thanks to Charlie Miller for all his hard work.
45 years old and sounds like it was just recorded yesterday! Needless to say, Pigpen's Same Things is worlds better than the version Bobby was pushing in the 90s.

....Oh, it was only a cream puff! This is unreal. The most incredible dead I have ever laid ears on! Go straight to "Cream Puff War" if you need convincing, then go back and listen to the whole thing. 1966? Are you crappin' me? Dude, its gonna be tough to listen to anything after '69 after listening to this!

Man... I just rediscovered the Dead via The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, which I had to read for class, of all things... Best thing school ever did for me.
My parents were infants when this was recorded. They are cynical ex-punks who HATE the Dead (and pretty much everything else). I, however, heard Joe Strummer when he said Punks Are Just Hippies With Zips. So... put on your high-heeled sneakers...

Bill Graham introduces the band and says "on drums, in striped "T" shirt, Mr Bill Summers".
Looks like Kreutzman wasn't at this gig...huh? Guess not. Who was/is Bill Summers, and whatever happened to him?
5 Pigpen songs gets 5 stars.
5 Stars for the mix (Stereo Hi-Fi)
5 stars for the recording
5 stars for the performance
5 stars for the Charlie Miller Transfer
This is a "MUST HAVE" show for all collectors of the GRATEFUL DEAD.
Super rare version of Otis Redding's "Pain In My Heart" sung by Pigpen.
Hard to believe these guys were this hip in 1966.
I was in 6th grade in 1966.
The BEATLES had invaded the USA 2 years earlier. BEATLE MANIA was blinding.
Get it while you can, get it while it's free, get it now or you'll be sorry...
Eat, Drink, Be Merry, and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.
Thanks for the love.
PS: Click on Charlie Miller's name and collect all his GRATEFUL DEAD shows, he has impeccable taste.
